[Music] once upon a time in a small village there lived a skilled sculpture known for making beautiful statues his work was admired by many and he earned a good living from his art the sculpture had a son who showed a natural talent for making beautiful statues from a young age as he grew up the sun also started creating statues that were beautiful and skillfully crafted the father took pride in his son's work but he would always point out small flaws in his work the son also accepted his father's feedback and worked on his craft with
each suggestion his statues grew even better slowly and slowly with time his art started to surpass that of his father people began to ad the son's work even more than his father they were willing to pay even a higher price for his statues despite his success the father continued to point out small flaws in his son's work however as the sun grew more confident in his skills he began to resent his father's criticism one day when his father pointed out a flly in his statue the son lost his patience and said father why do you
always keep criticizing my work you act as if you are a better sculpture than me people buy my statues more often than yours and they pay more than for them too if you are better your statues would sell for more than mine but they don't my work is more valuable so I don't think I need your advice anymore the father sensing the resistance of his son stopped offering feedback the son continued making statues and for a while he was happy and confident that his work was perfect without anyone's input but over time he noticed that
people's interest in his statues began to decrease gradually they no longer prised his statues as they once had his sale also declined and his work seemed to lose its former charm confused and disappointed the son finally went to his father and said father I don't understand why my statues are not as admired as before people have stopped buying my statues as they used to I don't know what I'm am doing wrong the father smiled and and replied I knew this would happen because I went through the same experience a years ago then he placed his
hand on his son's shoulder and continued you see my son when we believe our work is perfect we stop improving I pointed out FL in your work not because I thought I was better than you but to help you recognize the areas for improvement as creators we often love our work so much that we can't see its flaws but sometimes others can notice those subtle flaws and by listening to them we can keep growing and keep improving the son was silent realizing his mistake and wisdom in his father's words finally he asked father what should
I do now the father said gently just learn to be dissatis ified with your work and always believe that there is a room to improve for yourself this mindset will inspire you to grow continuously and create even more beautiful art if we see in our life we will find that in our life we often view criticism as something negative we consider it as a protest against our work or abilities but if we approach it from a different perspective we will realize that criticism can actually be an opportunity to learn and grow in this story we
see how the boys downfall began the moment he stopped listening to his father's criticism this teaches us an important lesson how we handle feedback can either help us improve or lead us to downfall in fact criticism can be a valuable tool for our growth and Improvement and a chance to refine our skills and push ourselves to be better constructive criticism from our mentors teachers and others who genuinely want us to succeed is especially valuable when we welcome this kind of feedback it reveals our weaknesses which we might not notice on our own just like the
sun in the story rejecting feedback can lead to setbacks whereever growth Falls and our work loses its quality of course not all criticism is helpful some criticism may come from jealousy or negativity and it is wise to ignore that kind of criticism but genuine feedback from those who care for us should be treated as gu guidance when we pass and listen to our critics without taking it personally we often find ways to make our work even better so whenever someone criticizes you remember that critics can be our best friends because it guides us towards excellence
and help us reach our goals
